John Cena comes out and puts over tonight's show and the Royal Rumble, then Dolph Ziggler cuts him off and says he will steal the show. He says the fans must have come for the Rock and Cena, but they will remember him as the best in the business today. AJ says she can't believe she wasted her time with Cena, then she says he is a 'small' man and Cena mocks her sixth grade weiner joke. Cena runs around the ring and gets the crowd to do the wave in acknowledgement of the weiner joke, then he tries to say his own joke but Dolph cuts him off.

Dolph says he needs to stop running and cut the crap, then Cena says he dumped the crap on him last week and Dolph is none too happy. Dolph says this is going to be his year but Cena says it's going to be big for him, then he calls AJ crazy and tells Dolph he is done talking and asks for a fight. Big E takes the mic and says Dolph isn't Cena's only problem, then he says it's on and Dolph asks him what he is thinking. Dolph argues with him and AJ and says he won't do it, then Cena warms up as Dolph reluctantly makes his way down to the ring as we go to a break.
